More than a dozen charges have been laid against three Londoners after police say several high-end vehicles reported stolen from the York region were located Tuesday.

London police say officers observed three high-end vehicles parked in the 200-block of Admiral Drive Tuesday morning that had been previously reported stolen.

After multiple officers – including members of the uniformed division, emergency response unit and canine unit – attended the area, two suspects exited a residence and entered the reportedly stolen vehicles, according to police.

While attempting to flee the area, police say one of their vehicles was struck by a suspect vehicle. Two suspects were arrested shortly afterward nearby the Admiral Drive residence.
